15. A Robust Communication System
16. Postel's Law
17. "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others." (RFC 793)
18. But this principle might need some refinement for today's networks (see Eric Allman's ACM commentary - http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2011/8/114933-the-robustness-principle- reconsidered/fulltext )

25. How Would You Communicate? Open Discussion
26. Let's Build As Solution
27. We will build a Minimum Viable Internet
28. What do we need?
29. The Start of a Laundry List • Computers – desktops, laptops, tablets • Software – It MUST be Free and Open Source Software, or at the very least reverse engineered closed software • Wires, wiring tools • Antennae • Power systems: rechargeable batteries, power generators (diesel, natural gas, solar)
30. Some Principles To Consider I. It must be built securely, or if it is not possible, know that it is not secure II. Must be able to be used by the majority of people III. Must be buildable using tools that are generally available IV. Little or NO restrictions on sharing of code, hardware design etc. V. No SPOF – Single Point Of Failure
